Scattered and smothered with a side of electrons, please! Road-trippers with a taste for retro cuisine and modern transportation will soon be able to charge their EVs at the iconic American diner chain Waffle House.

EV charging operator bp pulse plans to install DC fast chargers at Waffle House locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida and other locations in the South. Each site will feature six EV charging bays equipped with 400 kW DC fast chargers and a mix of CCS and NACS connectors. The first sites are expected to go live in 2026.

bp pulse operates more than 40,000 charge points globally, including 8,000 locations in 46 US states. Recent installations include a charging hub near Boston’s Logan Airport deployed in collaboration with Hertz. Other site partners include TravelCenters of America, Thorntons and Amoco.

Sujay Sharma, CEO of bp pulse US: “Adding an iconic landmark like Waffle House to our growing portfolio of EV charging sites is an exciting opportunity. We’re building a robust network of ultrafast chargers across the country, and this is another example of third-party collaborations enabling access to charging co-located with convenient amenities for EV drivers.”

David Repp, Director of Innovation at Waffle House: “Charging up while fueling up on an All-Star Special will be convenient and fast—a perfect option for enjoying the Waffle House experience while charging your EV on the go.”
